[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6072757, member: 8835"] Whereas I can think of lots of reasons to say no. None of these are great reasons. a. It's not your place to be asking for stuff b. I haven't considered the ramifications of saying yes, where as it turns out, you've got a hidden agenda in which my saying Yes is a vital component to screwing me over. c. it's like being pestered by beggars d. I'm in control and it's my right to dole out the gruel as I see fit e. You've established yourself as weak, as you haven't found a way to get the thing you want yourself. f. taking no immediate action is almost always safer than choosing a new course. However, it also lacks any pay-off if saying Yes were to suceed. g. Asking a question implies you don't know the answer, which makes you look foolish and ignorant. Bear in mind, over the last year or so, I've asked a lot of silly questions in this forum, so we know where the last puts me... I've given this list, to enable the Yes's in the house to comprehend where a No'r is coming from. Just as I was curious what mindset the Yes's are coming from. These reasons I give do not all apply to my decision making, and should not be construed as "Janx is an :):):):):):):):) who thinks this way" as me having a thought on how some folks may think is not the same as me thinking that way in any given situation.
